Mark 14:7

"But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me."

Key Reflection

Jesus's command to leave the woman alone and not to trouble her underscores that true worship and service come from the heart, not just ritualistic actions. By anointing Jesus with costly perfume, she demonstrated profound faith and love, which Jesus recognized as a good work intended for his burial.
